Thanks for the Memories

We Did It!

We started the year and ended the year with our balloon activity. On August 20, 2008, we began a quest to "Reach for the Stars." Continue your journey.

If
by
Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposter's just the same:

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

And never breath a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Armstrong's All-Stars Celebrate Last Day of School

In addition to our pizza, Dr. Dean surprised our class with a scrumptious plate of fruit. Armstrong's All-Stars had taken top honors for the Gold Medal Mile. Also, Mrs. Farris brought in a birthday cake for Mrs. Armstrong. Balloons, music, awards, a surprise slide show, reminiscing, and good-byes rounded out our day.

Whole Lot of Quakin' Goin' On!

Rock and roll-you may not hearing it on the radio, but it's definitely not something you want the ground under you to do! Yet that's exactly what happens during a powerful earthquake. We examined this fascinating force of nature with a hands-on project that challenged the All-Stars to build an earthquake-safe skyscraper.

Dancing With The Stars

For our school's Core Knowledge culminating program, sixth grade took to the stage, to present a Latin American dance. Playing the part of Zorro was Armstrong's All-Star, Cordon Farris. Frankly, we stole the show!

Sixth Grade Activity

We had a fun afternoon at Lion's Park. After enjoying a picnic, our room parents had planned a plethora of games and activities. Thank you so much parents for organizing an awesome activity.

The Armstrong's All-Stars presented the play "After Hours." It is a play about two lively mannequins, LuAnn and Patty, have been waiting all day for a chance to loosen up. When they discover fellow mannequin Danny in a mistakenly delivered crate, the night really gets interesting! The new mannequin on the block talks of his dreams of becoming a crash test dummy—He not only gets out of his box, he thinks outside the box when a pair of bungling burglars breaks in. With Danny taking the reigns, the mannequins show the crooks who the real “dummies” are, playing games with their minds, frightening them out of their wits and sending them on their way! To add to the fun and suspense, the burglars and mannequins are almost caught by the near-sighted security guard and some late-night window shoppers. The play was enjoyed by all who attended. The Armstrong's All-Stars would like to give a special "Thank You," to Miss Thomas, our director.
